Import Tips
• Verify FDA registration and 510(k) clearance for medical gloves; provide lot traceability documentation
• Ensure proper labeling for powder-free status and protein content to avoid allergen compliance issues
• Test for pinhole defects per ASTM standards; common pitfall is misclassifying as non-medical work gloves
